working as usual, without any problems. I'm still asked for root password when trying to locally shutdown the computer. I have never had this on from either the KDE control center or YaST.

For ref. mine are "auto" and "easy local" respectively, and I can shutdown from the desktop. I just changed the KDM_SHUTDOWN back to "auto" to have the same settings as you. But now, still I'm required to enter the root password to shutdown.
Hmmm. I'm on 10.1, so that may be the difference in settings names.
Having changed the setting, the programs will possibly need to restart to pick up the config changes. I'd recommend from a vt console (Ctrl-Alt-F1) as root:
# init 3 # SuSEconfig # ldconfig # init 5
The middle two may or may not be necessary, but won't harm nothing, so why not?
Both of the parameters are there - it's only a matter of looking for them (in the wrong places ) :-) . Cheers. -- This computer is environment-friendly and is running on OpenSuSE 10.1
